House Oversight Committee chair Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) on Wednesday made good on her promise to investigate ex-President Donald Trump’s handling of White House documents after it was revealed that he’d taken at least 15 boxes of them to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
I don’t see a case here. I mean, he’s not Hillary Clinton so, why would his handling of documents matter in the least?
So investigation will be what? 15 minutes? Don’t we already know enough?
Haha
To paraphrase Dennis Green, Mango Mussolini is exactly who we thought he was.
Let’s get the White House Plumbers under oath. And who’s in charge now that g. gordon liddy has expired?
Gee ya know…the House Oversight Committee coulda done this while trump was in office…
Plumbers… As my dad sagely observed. “What goes around, comes around”.
I’m not getting my hopes up, but if I’ve read correctly the penalty for violating the Presidential Records Act is disqualification from holding office in the future? If so, then drop everything and move forward on this one immediately and full out.
I feel like we already have the evidence to pin him down on this one - many witnesses saying they saw him destroy records?

That is included in one of the criminal statutes, but it’s plainly and obviously unconstitutional as applied to the president, whose qualifications for office are exclusively established by Article II of the Constitution.
ETA: Biden dropped a piece of paper in the trash can, so now he’s not president.
Nothing to see here folks; Trump was just flushing out the truth!
That individual needs to be banned from holding office in the future. The Repubs had two chances to do so via Impeachment 1: “Nice country ya got there” and Impeachment 2: “Coup D’Tat”, and muffed it. Maybe the Fourteenth Amendment would do it. Please.
I wonder if @ncsteve and I are the only ones who remember how Hillary Clinton’s handling of possibly classified emails hung like a cloud, doggedly shadowing her campaign like a black cloud, hanging over her campaign, doggedly. And, meanwhile, Maggie Goebbles-Habbermannheim apparently knew about Trump’s mishandling of documents, along with his whole fscking staff, and no one, no one said a word until Magie wanted to sell her fscking book, and the NY Times is running with this story on page 15. Fscking page 15.
Well, that explains the ten or fifteen flushes phenomenon. Like diapers, you should never try to flush top secret documents.
The Access Journalist. But I will leave off the “journalist” part.
Which chair?
Gowdy was the chair in '17 - '19.
Also
Now an unified Congressional front could have carried the day, but congressional Republicans didn’t want the heat.
Yeah, it’s become an epidemic … so-called “reporters” refuse to report, because otherwise, fewer people might buy their fscking books!
(Re: fsck – I love the classics!)
Ok, dumb question.
Other than post-it-notes, aren’t the documents produced on a computer? With auto-save, back up, bcc?
Hillary was baby-eating Satanist. Trump was a flawed, basically decent White Christian with his own TV show. You see the difference, don’t you?
The easiest defense in the world just occurred to me: Trump didn’t direct any of those presidential records and emoluments to be packed up and shipped south. Some Mark Meadows underling or Melania just had the movers pack up everything in the residence and they weren’t as discriminating as they should have been. Oopsies, bygones, no criminal intent.
